Walter,
We need to be careful about the selection of words here.
Your statement: "and the committee approved without objection its
removal"
sounds a little as if we have had an official vote on it in
the IBIS-ATM meetings, but I don't recall anything like that
happening. I agree, we had a bunch of reviews and discussions
on the draft BIRD, and so far no-one seemed to object the
content in the proposed draft document, but I would hesitate
to say that it has been approved... I would only say that
when the BIRD is done, and handed over to the IBIS Open Forum,
filed with an actual BIRD number.
Thanks,
Arpad

Scott,
I did not remove Gaussian. I proposed removing Gaussian from the spec to
the IBIS ATM committee, and the committee approved without objection its
removal.

You don't have the authority to "announce" the removal of a feature that
is in a GEIA published specification. You may choose to not use it,
however, removal from an existing specification is a difficult process.
This is why the BIRD process needs to be thorough and complete.

Scott

All,
I announced removal of things like Gaussian and Table for the exact
reasons that Danil stated. I did this many many moons ago. Why did no
one object at that time? All decisions that have been made can always be
reviewed, but we also need to be practical about it.

Radek,
I believe that since "gausian" keyword was not very clearly defined in
the specs, and no developers so far have used it in their AMI files
(correct me if I am wrong), the best solution is to remove it from the
specs for now. The simpler the spec is, the easier it is for everybody
to support it.
Best,
Danil

Walter,
I do not think we can "remove" Gaussian from the specification. It is
already there.
As a matter of fact we should try to clarify issues like this one,
wherever there is a possibility for misinterpretation.
For Fangyi's question I think the logically correct answer should be the
second one:
(PDF 0.0 0.01)
It follows the concept of (leaf_name value) where "value" in this case
consists of two numbers.

Fangyi,
One of the reasons why I have proposed removing Gaussian as a type in
the new BIRD.

Subject: [ibis-macro] question about Gaussian parameter
Hi, Experts;
If an AMI model has a parameter (PDF (Format Gaussian 0.0 0.01)), what
should the Init input parameter string be? Should it be
(PDF Gaussian 0.0 0.01)
or
(PDF 0.0 0.01)
or other format?
Thanks in advance,
Fangyi
